| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN Audio is 1000 little religions. +1 @viridian | |
| ONE MINUTE Premium Power Cable Survey One minute is too long to spend worrying about power cables that cannot affect sound. Spend your money on stuff that makes a difference. I was once firm in this belief as well. Until I tried, and heard the difference. | |
| ONE MINUTE Premium Power Cable Survey I took the survey, looking forward to the results. I fear that the results will show what is already apparent... That there are two camps, those who believe, and those who do not. It'll be interesting to find out if there is much of a middle grou... | |
| Sbooster with Lumin PSA To use the Sbooster with my Lumin T2, I needed to open the case, disconnect the internal power supply, and cut a wire (although I supposed I could have desoldered it), then connect their PS to the motherboard. I presume the procedure would be the ... | |
| Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help! 10 AWG to a 20A receptacle is fine. The electrician is pushing back (likely) because 10 AWG is more expensive, more physically difficult to work with, not something they normally do, and frankly, overkill. That said, it's your money, you're enti... | |
| Buzz from mouse in speaker I don't think it's your mouse. I connected my mouse to the usb port on my streamer and heard no difference. 😉 | |
| Does a Lumin App for Windows 11 exist..? Referring to your similar post on audio shark, I think they were suggesting you might try their android app under the "Windows Subsystem for Android". I'm not directly familiar with this, but a quick read seems to indicate it is an Android emulat... | |
| Does a Lumin App for Windows 11 exist..? Not all that strange. Supporting MacOS after supporting iOS, is likely a fairly easy port (depending on specifics of their code). Shared code, same tools, same developers. On the other hand, supporting windows would require an entirely new app, l... | |
| STREAMER For a U1 mini or U2 mini, an external linear power supply is probably a more cost efficient first step. I had a T2 with an SBooster, and for me, it was a significant improvement. To the original question, yes a PC can certainly make a differenc... | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? Within 30 seconds I could hear they sounded terrible. They did not improve after being run overnight. The next day, I couldn't stand to listen to them any more. Experiment over. | |
| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? On a lark (a hundred bucks to satisfy my own curiousity), I bought a few Xangsane power cables. "Silver Plated", massive, very well constructed. These aren't clones or gray market over stocks. Just cables made and marketed by a Chinese company. Th... | |
| Previous Ownership...does it matter to you? About half the gear I’ve bought over the last 5 years is used. I’ve haven’t yet (knock on wood) had a bad experience. I have walked away from a few deals when my intuition told me something was fishy. To me the first thing I look for is a sense o... | |
| Future DACs with Fibre Optical LOL, I hear you. Luckily for me the EtherRegen has been unobtainium, so temptation to experiment with one hasn't been a possibility. | |
| Future DACs with Fibre Optical Well, true, but no company will announce (or even mention) a new product that supersedes their current offerings until it is imminent. It kills sales. A corollary is that no company can afford to stand-pat in a competitive market. Without further... | |
| Future DACs with Fibre Optical I'm also an X1 owner; one of things that attracted me was the SFP (fiber) port. Seems like an obvious cheap and easy end-run around the electronic noise that may accompany ethernet connections. I know there are lots of other avenues to pursue sam... |
